Just saw that the first episode was able to be viewed so i thought i would start a thread up cause i know people are gunna want to discuss this show lol

i just downloaded it and watched the first 5 minutes and stopped to create this thread

So far its hard not to be biased against this show right off the bat, Andy cemented himself as Spartacus for me so i am already seeing the new guy as a piss poor actor for he is not Andy, so in turn is not spartacus for me.

right off the bat they start with a battle scene and from the looks of it the special effects guys and the fight choreographers left the show after andy you will see what i mean

of course im gunna give this show more time then the 5 minutes i just gave it lol but just wanted to share my thoughts

Just finished watching the 1st episode of season 2 (not 3 as in thread title, gods of arena wasn't a season by itself).
The feeling was really awkward towards the new guy playing Spartacus, but that would be unavoidable due to the circumstances and emotions driven by the death of Andy Whitfield (RIP).
That feeling slowly started to fade away and towards the end of the episode the the adversity towards the new guy had all passed away. I actually think he makes a good Spartacus, he's just a bit young for the part imo and reminds this mma fan of Sam Stout, but he delivered the intensity we were used to by the end of the episode.
I had forgotten how this show is brutal, had my spine cringing a few times due the very grafic scenes of bones breaking and guts being pulled from belly's.
Anyway, i'm glad the show it's back. The script seems to have structure to sustain a couple more of exciting seasons.
